Title: Systeme de commande pour onduleur resonant avec excitateur auto-oscillant
Inventor: ALEXANDROV FELIX I
IPC: H05B41/282
Filed: 2005-05-06
Abstract: Un contrôleur pour un inverseur à résonance pourvu d'un circuit intégré de commande auto-oscillant servant à alimenter des charges c.a., comme des lampes à décharge dans un gaz ou des convertisseurs continu-continu régulés, comprend un circuit de temporisation qui génère des impulsions stroboscopiques de commande qui sont injectées dans le circuit de temporisation. Le circuit de temporisation est accouplé à un réservoir résonant de l'inverseur par le biais d'un circuit de rétroaction assurant un verrouillage de phase pour l'inverseur à résonance. Le circuit de rétroaction comprend un circuit de décalage de phase passif pour un décalage de phase en circuit fermé de 360 degrés. Les impulsions stroboscopiques commandées en phase ajustent automatiquement la fréquence de l'oscillateur à circuit intégré afin d'assurer un fonctionnement d'inverseur sûr et stable au-delà de la fréquence de résonance. En injectant un petit signal de commande en courant alternatif ou continu dans le circuit de temporisation, l'angle de phase des impulsions stroboscopiques de synchronisation peut être avancé ou retardé, ce qui permet de commander la fréquence et la puissance du système de verrouillage de phase.

Title: Particules composites fines et leur procede de production
Inventor: SUGIYAMA NORIHIDE
IPC: C08F2/44
Filed: 2003-11-19
Abstract: L'invention porte sur des particules composites fines de type coeur/coquille comportant une particule fine minérale de la taille du nanomètre comme coeur, et un fluoropolymère comportant des unités dérivées d'un fluoromonomère comme coquille, et sur l'utilisation desdites particules composites. Le coeur minéral représente de 1 à 90 % du poids d'une particule composite. L'enrobage de fluropolymère formant la coquille dérive d'un fluoromonomère présentant un groupe polymérisable insaturé auquel est lié un atome de fluor. Le procédé de production des particules composites consiste à polymériser le fluoromonomère par polymérisation/granulation dans un système de polymérisation comportant un milieu aqueux où sont dispersées les particules minérales en présence d'un tensio-actif. On peut utiliser une poudre de ces particules composites comme charge pour polymères thermoplastiques ou résines thermodurcissables qui ainsi chargés peuvent servir de matériau de moulage. On peut également utiliser seule une poudre de particules composites à faible teneur en particules minérales comme matériau de moulage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for separating gas mixtures by means of an inventive gas centrifuge during which a compressible working fluid from an axial central supply tube (1) is introduced into the enlarging casing space (2) whereby passing through the flow channels (6) of the compression area (A) of a double-walled centrifuge rotor (3) and, in the axially distant area (B) inside the double tube, is guided in flow channels (6) having a constant flow cross-section (4) when in the centrifuged state. The flow of gas is separated into a specifically heavier and a specifically lighter gas fraction at a separating barrier (8) that is dependent on the individual gas volume portion.  Inside the flow channels (6), the separated gas fractions are forcibly guided, slowed down and diverted in a separate manner with decreasing axial distance.  The acceleration of the gas molecules in compression area (A) and the slowing down of the gas fractions in expansion area (C) ensue in a manner that is proportional to mass.
